GLBR Arts Network Fall Kickoff : Meet Students Where They Are
Limited Capacity filling up
In this session, the presenters will explain how the Michigan Arts Education Instruction and Assessment project (MAEIA) leads educators to live into the convergence of rigorous arts education, social-emotional learning, and culturally responsiveness within instruction and assessment. The data cultivated through these student-centered approaches then helps us effectively attend to, and advocate for, our students and our arts programs.
 
Through the work of trauma experts, including Dr. Stephen Porges (Polyvagal Theory), we know the nervous system guides how we interact and experience the world. This includes learning. The framework for social-emotional learning in and through the arts shared here employs a polyvagal lens within instruction and assessment to support ALL students with resilience building as they engage in rigorous arts content, and to support all educators in the process of teaching culturally responsive curricula.

How can someone's race, sex, age, and other characteristics influence the way we see and treat them even when we are genuinely trying to be unbiased?
What concrete steps can we take to help prevent this from happening?
To help answer these questions, this workshop introduces the concept of implicit bias. Through a mix of short presentations, lively activities, and discussions, we will explore some harmful side effects of how our brains naturally perceive, categorize, and draw inferences about the world, including other people.
We will also examine when this kind of bias is most likely to occur. And we will talk about what practical steps we can all take to try to reduce or eliminate it as well as what has been shown not to work.

Implicit Bias: Awareness, Practices, and Implication
Limited Capacity seats available
How can someone's race, sex, age, and other characteristics influence the way we see and treat them even when we are genuinely trying to be unbiased?
What concrete steps can we take to help prevent this from happening?
To help answer these questions, this workshop introduces the concept of implicit bias. Through a mix of short presentations, lively activities, and discussions, we will explore some harmful side effects of how our brains naturally perceive, categorize, and draw inferences about the world, including other people.
We will also examine when this kind of bias is most likely to occur. And we will talk about what practical steps we can all take to try to reduce or eliminate it as well as what has been shown not to work.
